8 Questions to Ask Before Leaving Your Relationship
If you’re thinking about breaking up with your partner, you should consider these questions first.
Whether we’re socially isolating or living our fullest, best lives, some relationships start to feel like they’ve run their course. We start thinking about breaking up with our partner and moving on. And sometimes there’s good reason for that.
Sometimes the relationship is abusive or toxic. Sometimes there are differences that are too big to overcome. Sometimes there’s nothing really wrong, but you just know that there’s nothing left between you.
But sometimes you start thinking about a split because you’re bored. Things get stale and routine. It doesn’t feel fresh, exciting and new anymore. So you think you should break up and go in search of someone new.
Wherever you’re at, whatever the reasons you’re thinking of breaking up, ask yourself these questions first. Why? Because not only will they give you the clarity you need to make a firm decision but they’ll also help you as you navigate relationships in the future.
